My December Julep Maven Box

This month's Julep Maven box is This Way to the Soirée. "The season of celebrations is in full swing, sparked with magic and merriment all around. This was the ultimate inspiration for our December nail collection. Top it off with new party-ready shades of our best-selling It’s Whipped Matte Lip Mousse, and you’re ready to dazzle your way through the holidays." I selected the Holly Jolly box. Let's see what was inside:

Alaina is described as a "driftwood taupe crème" and Rashida is described a "rosy copper matte metallic." I thought both colors looked good together so I had a cute mani on all week. Unfortunately forgot to snap a pic so this one will have to do lol.

Was pretty excited for these palettes as they looked gorgeous and had some neutral colors. I opted for the Eclipse palette for a more smoky look.

Apologies for the tired look. Took it after the long day since I forgot to take a pic of my makeup look fresh in the morning #badblogger

Used Gilded and Orchard on my cheeks with Pearl as a highlighter. Then did a soft purple smoky eye with Thistle & Cinder. Finished off with Length Matters mascara and the It's Whipped lipstick.

I'm in love with It's Whipped lip mousses and added on Swoon, a heathered wine matte. Glad I did because it was the color I was looking for. It is a mix between the two shades I have now. (I'm wearing it in the pic above). Getting a nice collection of these matte lipsticks that I always get compliments on when I wear.
